Linde Werdelin’s Oktopus II is just 3 weeks away from you!
Previewed at BaselWorld 2012 in March, now Oktopus II is just 3 weeks away from you.
Linde Werdelin’s interpretation of an ideal timepiece for modern diving.
The Oktopus II is designed to carry the Reef, our very own dive instrument and offer the most sophisticated dive tool for the way we dive today.

The Oktopus II boasts a brand
new case construction. Individually crafted in titanium, rose gold, and ceramic to offer excellent
anti-corrosive performance against the impact of lengthy submersion into sea water, the Oktopus II
houses an upscale custom-made movement that powers a big-date display in double wheels in an
air-sealed cylinder that forms the heart of the timepiece.
Drawn upon in-house expertise of
developing dive computers, the case is meticulously and robustly constructed based on the structure of
an air-tight pressure chamber to offer absolute water resistance, using the most innovative case construction
technology and precision that would not be possible 10 years ago.

30-Piece Limited Edition celebrates the return of the Formula 1 Grand Prix to a U.S. track
After a five-year absence, Formula 1 will race again in the United States in November 2012. Richard Mille celebrates the return of the sport that inspires many of his most iconic watch designs with a limited edition RM 011 Felipe Massa Flyback Chronograph in a carbon case.
F1 driver and Richard Mille friend Felipe Massa collaborated on the design of the original RM 011. With Massa set to drive in the United States for the first time in five years, a limited edition of his namesake watch proves a fitting tribute.
The new timepiece features the flyback chronograph functions that are essential to athletes and sports fans alike. Some of the RM 011’s main features, which include major technical innovations, are its skeletonized automatic winding movement with adjustable rotor geometry; 60-minute countdown timer; 12-hour totalizer; annual calendar; and oversize date and month. The black carbon tripartite case gives high contrast to the watch’s bright yellow strap, numerals, hands, inner bezel, crown protector and lacquer rotor detail. A yellow helmet at the 7 o’clock position adds a subtle sporty touch.
Only 30 pieces of the new RM 011 Felipe Massa Flyback Chronograph Carbon will be made. The limited edition will be sold at the Richard Mille Boutique Beverly Hills, California. The United States Formula 1 Grand Prix will take place in Austin, Texas, November 16-18, 2012 at which Felipe Massa will compete wearing a Richard Mille watch on his wrist.
